What is Namecoin?

Namecoin (NMC) is a decentralized open source information registration and transfer system based on the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. The Namecoin software is used to register names and store associated values in the blockchain, a shared database distributed by p2p in a secure way. The software can then be used to query the database and retrieve data.

February 2014 FreeSpeechMe was released: a Windows/Linux Firefox plug-in, which allows automatical resolution of .bit addresses by downloading the Namecoin block chain and running it in the background.
